Yeah I understand why he choose sumfest over northwest but it still sucks!! I was really looking forward to chronixx and might just skip the festival now since I can't even make it till Saturday .. Id miss brown and blakkamore on Friday anyway..

this is as mild as I can be... no one should be let out of any contract at NWWRF going forward. I understand that it is great for Chronixx and all, but you have been selling tickets with him on the bill. Lineup subject to change? Sure, but if every year the act that is producing the most "heat" so to speak is let out of their deal so that they can go make more money/exposure some where else who is losing here? No debate necessary as a ticket paying customer though I will tell you that I am seeing a pattern here.

Having said that... Jahdan Blakkamoore, Raging Fyah, Kabaka Pyramid, Third World is enough to get me out the door.... Blessed Coast, Hustle, Zion Gate, Ital etc.... no complaints on this end.

Why does failure require so much explaining? I mean this in a greater sense. IF you don't have a good reggae scene the reason is because you have failed to produce one. IF you advertise an artist as a promoter and they don't show, you have failed to deliver. As an artist if you are supposed to be somewhere and you don't show you have failed. This is really simple. We all take risks in this, but when i hear SO MANY EXCUSES from all kinds of people for why things are "less than" it makes my head hurt. I will ask you this... Is there another genre of music that offers so many excuses for why it has failed to take the next step toward being wide ranging professionalism?
